Description

The Max Thrust Ruckus - P51 builds on the proven Ruckus formula with a slightly edgier, more agile flight envelope for pilots looking to sharpen their aerobatics. This Balsa Pro-Built ARTF version translates the much-loved EPO design into a beautifully constructed, CNC-cut balsa and ply airframe, wrapped in a tough, easy-clean film for long-lasting good looks. Finished in the striking pseudo P-51 colour scheme, it delivers confidence-inspiring slow-speed manners alongside fantastic aerobatic performance.

Engineered for flexibility, the Ruckus - P51 includes mounts for both i.c. and electric setups, plus a comprehensive hardware pack that takes the guesswork out of assembly. Power options are broad: it suits .40–.46 cu.in. 2-stroke engines (a .52 fits the bill for even stronger vertical) or an electric setup such as a Radient 4250 800KV outrunner on a Radient 4S 2600mAh LiPo. With a 1380mm wingspan and 1170mm length, it’s a superb club model for intermediate to advanced pilots, from aerobatic trainees to seasoned flyers.

Specifications

Hot on the heels of the Riot and capitalising on its resounding success, the Ruckus was designed to offer a slightly more agile and edgy performance envelope for pilots who are looking to hone their skills and develop their aerobatic repertoire. No surprise, then, that the Balsa Pro-Built Ruckus takes all the exemplary design cues and flying characteristics of the EPO model and offers them in the form of a beautifully built, highly durable, CNC-cut balsa, ply and film-wrapped airframe. Whilst solo pilots of all skill levels love the foamie Ruckus, traditionalists crave the added longevity offered by the ding-resistant, easy-clean (and visually bold) film-covered surface of this balsa-built aircraft.

In a package that leaves little to chance, the kit comes with a full hardware pack that includes all the fittings and accessories required, not least the engine / motor mounts necessary for both i.c. or electric power options.

Available in three pre-finished colour schemes (red, pseudo P-51 or pseudo Chipmunk) there’s something here for everyone, not least the opportunity to maintain some individuality at the patch.

Power options are numerous and whilst the prototype used a .46cu. in. 2-stroke, a .52 would fit the bill just as well, offering outstanding vertical performance in the process. The electric version suits a Radient 4250 800KV outrunner perfectly which, hooked to a Radient 4S 2600mAh LiPo, offers an abundance of power and a very respectable duration.

A superb club model that suits everyone from aerobatic trainees to B-certificate campaigners and hardened professionals, the Balsa Pro-Built Ruckus is an absolute blast and a must-have hack for all fields, all conditions and all occasions.

    Hi. Can this come in PNP as I’m not familiar with installing electric motors, servos etc. I understand this will come at a higher price if available. Kind regards.
